at the lake

My parents were gracious enough to allow Crosspoint to use their lake cottage for the annual staff retreat and college leadership retreat. So our family went up a couple days before those retreats and stayed a couple days on the back end of those retreats to enjoy the lake. We always enjoy our time there and are so thankful for a place to go vacate and be with family. Thanks Mom and Dad for your generosity! We love you!




While we were there Spencer got to meet cousins Ethan, Owen & Ainsley.

Happy Mother's Day


I am so thankful for my mother. She is an amazing woman in so many ways and I count it such a privilege to be her daughter. She has given me a great example to follow as I seek to mother my children. She is not only my mother but one of my best friends. I'm so thankful for our closeness and that we are able to talk on a deep level. My life is more rich because of her! Thank you Mom for all your sacrificial love and service to me for the last 33 plus years!


Happy Mother's Day to all the mommas out there!

Spencer is 3 months


Our sweet boy is 3 months old today! He is such a sweet boy and we are enjoying him so much. He is sleeping through the night and growing well and I'm so thankful for that. It's so fun to see his personality come out more and more. He smiles and coos a lot and has started giggling a few times. I love it! How blessed I feel this Mother's Day!

Visit to Yorktown

The kids and I were able to spend a few nights in Yorktown while Jeremy was at Staff Retreat this last week. We don't get to Yorktown very often anymore so it's always special for me to get time there. Spencer got to meet Uncle Michael and GG & Raggie. I enjoyed a date with my brother and time at the nursing home with my grandparents.

Raggie meeting Spencer


GG & the kids


I am so blessed to call GG & Raggie my grandparents, they are amazing! It's so hard to see them this old and to not see them very often. Every goodbye is hard now...not knowing if it will be the last. I love them so much!


This was a highlight for Carson....he got to drive the mower all by himself!


College Cookout

We love the end of the year cookout with the college students at our home. This is also a huge highlight for our kids. All the students involved in our small group ministry come over for fun and food before going into exam week and dispersing for the summer.



Spencer got lots of love that night from all the college girls.





The bonfire in the backyard is also a highlight. We burn our Christmas trees each year at this cookout.
